Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 R-- Thanks so much. I must say that you were much more confident than I was. When you told me you knew that both tubes would be clear, I thought that you were cute in being so optimistic. In no way did I think that's the news I'd get. Unbelievable. Now I keep wondering how many people who got clear HSGs go on to have another ep (due to damaged little hairs inside the tube, etc). I think this happened to . I know I just need to give this worrying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 Hi , Thanks so much for your thoughts today. I know you and I were close on this one because your's will be very, very soon. Since everything is fresh in my mind, feel free to ask me any questions. I'm having some cramping still, but not too bad. I'm still popping advils. I can't believe I didn't need the powerhose! Regarding the bcp's, I talked to the nurse and they want me to finish them up this month-- I've still got about 2 weeks of the white ones and then the green ones, which will bring on af. Then it's clomid time. Can't wait until you are up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 Hi , Well, I spent a long time (a good hour) waiting for the test because the dr was running late. I'd say it took 5 minutes for them to get all the equipment set up, and then 1 minute to watch the fluid flow through on the monitor. I thought there was more to come, but all of the sudden he said " both clear, " pulled everything out, and that was it. It was so fast. There were a lot of people in there. One nurse was my RE's assistant and she spent a lot of time looking at the monitor and pointing things out to my dh. There was another nurse who was up by my face trying to distract me with small talk. Then there was the RE doing the test. There were 3 monitors all over the room. They were joking that I was on " candid camera. " My dh was actually on the other side of the room watching it. He thought it was really cool. I'm really glad I brought him and that they let him in. I wasn't sure if that was allowed or not. I think the cramping will last a day or two. I'm bleeding too. Oh yeah, there was one woman who went before me, and they said she was screaming thoughout it--so I guess the experience really can vary from person to person.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 I am glad your dh was able to be in there with you (at least that was comforting for you) Wow, I can't believe it did not take that long. Boy, you had all kinds of people in there taking care of you! At least you didn't have any problems with the test. I hope you are relaxing now. Let the good news really sink in. ....thanks for the info. --- franke100@... wrote: > Hi , > > Well, I spent a long time (a good hour) waiting for > the test because > the dr was running late.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 I'm happy for your good news! Thanks for sharing about the pain factor, too, in case I decide that it would be worth my doing. Good luck to you! Maggie HSG results Hi all, I'm back from my HSG already. Thank you all for the positive thoughts you sent. They worked. Both tubes are clear!!! My RE said my left tube was a little wider than my right (my ep tube), but the dye flowed through both tubes very quickly. And the second bit of good news is that I didn't experience that much pain. It definitely hurt when they put everything in and when they took it out, but it didn't compare to some of the pain horror stories I've heard. It's like I felt very stretched and there was an extreme tightness in my stomach. The nurse said that some dr's can be brutal, and that's when it hurts. I am still wondering what that 1 1/2 inch thing is that was/is visible on the U/S, and that the gyne was able to feel, not even 3 weeks ago. Maybe I have a growth or a clot on the outside of my tube. I am so relieved that there is nothing that blocks the inside. The RE didn't seem concerned about it at all. By the time I got dressed, my RE was gone--but he did tell my dh that everything looks good and we can move forward. My dh got to watch the entire test, which is good because I was pretty spaced out. I just left a message at my dr's office to see if I can possibly stop taking the birth control pill now (mid-cycle) in order to jump-start a new cycle, or if I have to finish them out. I believe the next step for me will be the infamous clomid challenge test. If that turns out okay, then I can ttc the next cycle. The results were far better than I ever anticipated.
